Koh Bon - Koh Tachai - Richelieu Rock (Tablamu Pier, Khao Lak - Tablamu Pier, Khao Lak)

The Similan Islands
The Similan Islands are renowned for their pristine, crystal-clear waters and awe-inspiring marine biodiversity, making it a natural magnet for top-notch scuba diving liveaboard cruises and day trips. Along the eastern coast of the Similan Islands, you'll encounter gently sloping coral reefs that gradually descend into the depths, while the western coast is adorned with colossal granite boulders, offering mesmerizing swim-through opportunities.

The West Ridge, in particular, is adorned with intricate clusters of tiny yellow soft corals, creating a vibrant underwater landscape teeming with a diverse array of fish species. It's not uncommon to spot the elegant leopard sharks, graceful eagle rays, and, on rare occasions, even the elusive Guitar Shark in this remarkable underwater realm.

Koh Bon
Koh Bon has gained a reputation as a prime location for captivating Manta encounters, particularly along the renowned Koh Bon West Ridge. During the months from February to April, the chances of witnessing these magnificent creatures are exceptionally high, with sightings occurring approximately 9 out of 10 times.

The West Ridge itself is adorned with delicate yellow soft corals, creating a vibrant and visually stunning underwater landscape teeming with a diverse array of fish species. Additionally, it's not uncommon to come across other fascinating marine creatures in the area, such as leopard sharks, eagle rays, and occasionally, the elusive Guitar Shark.

Koh Tachai
Tachai Pinnacle lies beneath the surface at a depth of 12 meters, extending to impressive depths of 30-35 meters, forming a captivating dome-shaped underwater site often referred to as "The Dome."

Here, the marine life is nothing short of remarkable. Expect to encounter a rich tapestry of Hard Corals and Sea Whips, as well as the mesmerizing presence of large schools of Barracudas, Batfish, Tuna, Bluefin Trevally, Snappers, Fusiliers, Triggerfish, Eels, and a colorful array of Nudibranchs, among other marine species.

But that's not all—keep a keen eye out for something truly grand, such as the majestic Whale Shark or the graceful Manta Ray, which occasionally grace this underwater wonderland with their presence. Tachai Pinnacle promises a world of underwater exploration and the potential for extraordinary encounters with these magnificent creatures.

Richelieu Rock
Richelieu Rock, during low tide, unveils approximately 1 meter of its top, revealing its distinctive horseshoe or, as the French would aptly describe it, croissant shape.

Exploring this dive site requires a slower pace, with a keen focus on observation. Virtually every square meter of this underwater wonderland is teeming with life, emphasizing the importance of precise buoyancy control. The sheer abundance of marine species defies comprehensive listing, but here are just a few of the remarkable creatures you may encounter: Ghost pipefish, Frogfish, Harlequin shrimp, Seahorses, Cuttlefish, Tomato clownfish, Eels, Octopus, and, when a substantial shadow passes overhead, don't assume it's a boat—look up, as it might just be the majestic silhouette of a Whale Shark gracing your dive.
